About the Bancroft Gallery

The Bancroft Gallery exhibits strive to highlight different aspects of The Bancroft Library collections. To showcase the breadth and depth of these holdings, exhibits change every three to four months.

The gallery does not provide docents or guides, but items displayed are labeled for self-guided tours.

Visiting the Gallery

The Bancroft Gallery is adjacent to The Bancroft Library's foyer, which is by the east entrance of Doe Annex. This entrance faces the Campanile Esplanade, a significant campus landmark.

The Bancroft Gallery is open Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The gallery is closed on weekends and administrative holidays.

Visits by School Groups

The Bancroft Gallery welcomes school groups, but please be aware that the gallery has limited space. The gallery can accommodate a maximum of twenty students at a time.

Students must be accompanied by at least two adults from their school.

Parking for buses (and cars) on the Berkeley campus is almost non-existent. Buses may drop groups off at the entrance to The Bancroft Library, but then must drive off campus to wait until it is time to return to pick up the passengers.
